Semi-related note. Get ready for nothing in the way of bobble heads next season, according to my buddy in the organization. They went from zero to 90 in that regard this year, but those nights bombed in terms of attendance. Granted, it was, like, six Hoffman figurines, Greg Vaughn (2.5 years with the Padres), Caminiti (four years), and Tony.

Next year will be a lot more beach towels, backpack coolers, hats, etc. Basically, everything my boss asked me to grab for him if I went to that particular game.
